That moment where you finally convince your boss it's not worth fixing, and then you instantly think of a way to easily solve it.

The annoying thing is, when it's happened it's been like a day's work tops. Making your initial declaration of "can't be done without rewriting all of it" look very silly.

It usually involves working backwards from unholy abomination the sales team, your manager and the customer fucked into existence between them, and just find out what problem the customer actually wants solving.

Is there actually a limit to how far a comment thread can go?

Two reply from two people at the exact same time. Do I need to answer both of you to win now?

Btw really nice meme.

Nah, one is enough. ^^ Curiosity got the better of me thinking about how squished the UI might end up looking.
